The Winks Announce Giant Tour

Sep 26, 2007, 10:05am You Aint No Picasso
The Winks, whom I haven't had the pleasure of posting on in a while, just announced a rather large tour which will take them through their native Canada and all across the U.S. In fact, there are so many dates that I'm going to post them after a jump. And ...

The Winks - Birthday Party

May 30, 2007, 4:50pm Song, by Toad
More Montrealers make their way into the music scene, and they fit very much into the general Canadian dramatic-indie-with-instrument s landscape quite neatly. Given they're from Montreal I feel I would be neglecting my duty by not mentioning The Arcade Fire, but I can't really think of much of a comparison, so maybe not. Who they do [...]

The Winks - Guitar Swing

Jan 17, 2007, 3:11pm mp3hugger
Todd McDonald and Tyr Jami are the vivacious duo who form the fulcrum of Montreal band the Winks. A case of fallout from the Arcade Fire's dash you might say but the Winks had been releasing CDR's well before 'Funeral' gave the world a Wake. Their current album is called 'Birthday Party' and is resplendent with images of the lovely pair in lavish festive gear. Contained within is one 'Guitar

The Winks >>

The Winks >> I was looking into some shows happening in Toronto in the next little while, and I came across this . Wavelength , an institution for new music on Sunday nights, is celebrating 350 gigs by throwing four shows in four days (Feb. 8-11th). This celebration is a little while off, but I liked the lineup on the Saturday night at Salem's Loft (????). New Toronto venue, let me introduce myself. My name is Chris and I'll be up at the bar, looking for drink deals and [...]

THIS WEEK'S FINDS

Jan 2, 2007, 3:15pm Fingertips
THIS WEEK'S FINDS week of Dec. 31-Jan. 6 "Here's Your Future" - the Thermals Let's hit the ground running here in '07, shall we? Bracing and uncompromising, "Here's Your Future" is a two-and-a-half-minute blast of literate, crafty 21st-century punk rock from a band that walks the walk. (The Thermals made news early last year for turning down a $50,000 request from Hummer to use a song of theirs in a commercial.) Fueled by a fast five-chord guitar riff, "Here's Your Future" is both bleak and poignant; the song offers only the comfort [...]

The Winks - Guitar Swing

Dec 1, 2006, 12:01am Kinky Origami
I have a lot of respect for artists who shy away from the standard guitars+bass+drums formula and instead take a more unique approach to their music. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with the standard approach, and less conventional methods do not always work out, but there is still something to be said for the creative effort. And in some cases it does work out. In the case of The Winks it really works out. With a setup that consists primarily of cello, mandolin, percussion, and vocals, and is often [...]

I'm back. Allo!

Oct 26, 2006, 2:15am Collective Music
About six months ago, I strayed from the path of writing this blog. I weaned myself off quite quickly, and within... oh say... an hour, I was finished and felt alright about my decision. I had built a nice team of 20 or so writers. Then we all departed ways at the end of the academic year. We had all planned to continue, but it proved so difficult, and I wanted to simply just lie in the sun, pretending I didn't exist. Whe time came to head back to the campus we werent heading [...]

We Need To Talk

Oct 19, 2006, 4:31am Said the Gramophone
The Winks - "Nolan Ryan" a certain fruit fly is not slave, for whatever, while possibly interesting, unfortunately not necessary to know, reason, needs not abide by the rule of inertia. Or rather, abides only by it. This fruit fly, understand, is unstoppable. Every path it flies, it disrupts the matter in its way, nothing in the universe can resist its movement. Of course it would wreak havoc on the fruit on your counter, hold out no hope of having that clementine, that plum. But furthermore, think of park benches and church pews, you would look at the old wood [...]

MUSIC: The Winks

Jul 25, 2006, 8:57pm A Blog Soup
MUSIC: The Winks Recently I listened to some of The Winks music, and I downloaded many tracks from their site. Hailing from Vancouver, The Winks play a "Baroque punk" as one reviewer labeled it. It's fun, catchy, pop music, and makes me smile. Listen for yourself. [mp3] Crime Scene [mp3] Theme [mp3] Snakes (live) [mp3] Alice [my favorite] [mp3] A.F [...]
